Genesis 18:13-19 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sera laugh, saying: Shall I who am an old woman bear a child indeed?

14. Is there any thing hard to God? according to appointment I will return to thee at this same time, life accompanying, and Sara shall have a son.

15. Sara denied, saying: I did not laugh: for she was afraid. But the Lord said, Nay: but thou didst laugh:

16. And when the men rose up from thence, they turned their eyes towards Sodom: and Abraham walked with them, bringing them on the way.

17. And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do:

18. Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed?

19. For I know that he will command his children, and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham's sake the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto him.
